Head of Financial Planning & Analysis $200,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
This is not conventional FP&A. This is financial operations designed for people who build.
2 Hour Learning is creating a school network that operates on a different model. We execute quickly, decide constantly, and require financial insight that matches our velocity. You will not spend time reviewing outdated budgets or depending on business intelligence teams. You will create the models, dashboards, and financial controls that provide operators and leadership with the precision they need for daily confident decision-making. Your contributions will influence school launches, strategic shifts, and execution—and your work must be rapid, reliable, and trusted.
You will lead a live, AI-enhanced financial system. This includes integrated profit-and-loss models across each school and business vertical. Rolling forecasts spanning 12 to 18 months that remain current within 72 hours. Dashboards that isolate the critical two or three drivers that truly impact performance. You will leverage AI tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot to speed your analysis and remove operational friction. You are not building infrastructure—you are using available technology to accomplish more, faster.
This role is not for operations managers comfortable in structured hierarchies. It is for finance professionals dissatisfied with red tape and sluggish cycles. You apply AI tools to increase output velocity and expect your models to inform action, not merely document history. You will not remain on the periphery awaiting approval. You will be central to our momentum.
What you will be doing
- Develop and maintain integrated 3-statement models for each school and vertical, connecting enrollment, staffing, and capital expenditures into unified forecasts.
- Refresh rolling 12–18 month forecasts weekly with current data and perform scenario analysis on upside and downside exposure.
- Provide executive dashboards powered by live data that spotlight critical levers and support confident daily decision-making.
- Deploy AI tools to speed analysis, identify outliers, monitor variances, and remove spreadsheet friction throughout finance operations.
- Author concise memos summarizing financial exposure, strategic alternatives, and budget impact at a board-ready standard, delivered within 72 hours.
What you will NOT be doing
- Running slow budget cycles or generating reports that go unread — your forecasts adapt to the business in real time, and your output influences decisions within days.
- Enforcing cost-center compliance or tracking receipts — your focus is clarity and oversight, not process bureaucracy.
- Depending on BI teams — you construct your own tools, dashboards, and financial models.
- Getting lost in noise — your role is to extract the critical few insights that shift outcomes.
- Engineering automated systems from the ground up — you will use AI tools to accelerate delivery, not build technical infrastructure.
Key responsibilities
Provide continuously updated financial models, forecasts, and dashboards that enable daily decisions and strategic visibility across a rapidly expanding school network.
